Finished Peaky Blinders too. It did improve a bit in the last 2 episodes, but overall a disappointing series. I'm glad it's all over tbh.


I agree totally on both accounts , especially Peaky Blinders which went on a couple of seasons more than needed.

I agree here, the show started getting worse and worse as it went.
As for Sean Bean, I feel the writers didn't know what to do with his character at some point, I blame the writing, not the actor.

Billions Season 6 (12 episodes)

I must admit I expected this show to fail after the departure of Damian Lewis but I was wrong. The great writing and quick fire repartee is what makes this great. I loved the season finale, lies within lies within lies (or perhaps more smoke and mirrors. Great job by Corey Stoll, keeps me guessing whether his character Mike is really on the level. Season 7 has been green lit so I look forward to finding out. 8/10


Severance Season 1 (9 episodes)

Big fan of this near future dystopian drama. Employees of a company called Lumen choose to have work and personal life memories severed. Why would anyone do this? You have to watch to find out. Great cast including Patricia Arquette , John Turturro and and Christopher Walken with Ben Stiller directing One of my shows of the year so far. 9/10

Archive 81 (2022 - 1 Season / 8 Episodes - US): It's a shame that this really good Netflix series about a fantastical cult was canceled after just one season. The ending overtly shows that this was not the intended result for its makers. It reminded me of the Spanish movie entitled Durante la tormenta, with some of its aspects. 8/10

All done with Killing Eve. A very enjoyable romp indeed.

Equinox (2020 - Season 1 / 6 Episodes - Denmark): A pretty nice Danish Netflix series; or not so nice... What secrets does that grimoire hold?.. It hasn't been announced yet, but even if it's gonna be canceled, that wouldn't be a disappointment for most; it is satisfactory as a single season series. 7.5/10

Slow Horses. Man! Gary Oldman is such an amazing actor! This great little spy thriller is great. Couldn't believe I was laughing so much (Oldman's character, Jackson lamb, is so quick witted yet subtly so!)

Just finished It's Okay to Not Be Okay for the fifth time--and I still think it's the best and my favorite television series of my entire life. It just gets better/makes more sense/seems more seemless with each viewing. Such amazing ensemble acting and gorgeous people and cinematography.

Been going through Criminal Minds from the start. Season 7 is my favorite so far (though some of the episodes are quite dark and graphic).

Finished Series 1 of From. Really enjoyed it. It definitely has a Lost vibe (which is a good thing IMO), but more gory and scary. Coincidentally Harold Perrineau appeared in both shows (he stars in From). Obviously there are many mysteries and questions - so hopefully it doesn't get cancelled. 9/10.

Also Series 1 of Peacemaker complete https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13146488/. It follows straight on from the movie Suicide Squad. I knew it had pretty good reviews (8.4 on imdb) before I watched, but even then these shows often disappoint. But wow, where the hell did this come from - it's brilliant. It's crude, rude, violent, hilarious and action-packed. It really is like no other superhero movie or TV show I've seen, and it's a real breath of fresh air. I was laughing out loud quite a lot, there are some great comedy moments. The music has a lot of 80s cheesy Rock tunes from the likes Cinderella and The Quireboys which really adds to the whole thing. Great stuff and stupid fun. 9/10

Vikings: Valhalla. It takes place 100 years after Ragnar Lothbrook and it tells of the Viking return to England after the ones living there had all been eliminated by the old King. It's not as good as Vikings and some imdb reviews are scathing, but as long as one looks beyond the historical inaccuracies it's not too bad. But a massive blunder - a black African queen heading the Vikings at Kattegat - seriously!! 7/10

Currently watching All of Us are Dead  More S. Korean zombies madness. This time it all starts in a school. The Koreans have a real skill for doing these type of zombie TV shows. This is up there with Kingdom. Each episode is about an hour long and there are 12 of them. We've watched 2 so far and they went by in a flash. Very tense, chaotic with lots of manic action. I understand it all takes place in the school so it may be difficult to maintain this standard without getting repetitive. 9.5/10 so far.

Thumbs UpThumbs Up I love the opening credits. I made Mrs JD watch it two or three times then said "You really need to watch the first episode to really understand what kind of a series it is. She agreed, and we binged it over a week. Cena is perfect in this roll.

Enjoy this, then check it out.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

The Rising Season 1 (Sky Studios)

One of the better things to come from Sky in recent years. A young woman comes back from the dead to help solve the mystery of her own murder. The catch - only a few people can see and hear her. I liked the mix of gothic horror and murder mystery handled with lots of intensity. 8/10

Agreed. Sadly Netflix are cutting things right, left and centre as they handle the fall out of losing subscribers and therefore lost revenue.

Finished All of Us are Dead. Really enjoyed it as a whole, but I feel exhausted. It's pretty much non-stop since the word go. I did warm to the characters, but Koreans are rather odd in the way they treat each other (maybe that was a fault of the poor translation though). I'm zombied out for a while now lol 9.5/10

Erşan Kuneri (2022 - Season 1 / 8 Episodes - Turkey): Our phenomenal comedian Cem Yılmaz's latest work. A Netflix comedy series. Dunno how people from other countries see Yılmaz's humour, but as a Turk I exceedingly like it. I believe this is really a quality work. I quite enjoyed it and sent some audible laughters here and there. 8.5/10

Finished seasons 3 and 4 of The Expanse. Really great stuff. Now I need to seek out seasons 5 and 6 on DVD or Blu-ray.

Just started season 1 of The Outer Limits reboot that came out in 1995. They used to show this late on Saturday nights back then, but I missed many of the episodes. Found the complete series on DVD at Amazon for a good price. With 152 episodes, I'll be slowly progressing through this over the next couple of months.

Undercover Season 3 8 episodes

Very enjoyable Dutch crime drama that reached a convincing conclusion. There is also a spin off series about one of the main characters (Ferry) but I've yet to see that.
7/10

Open Range Season 1 (8 episodes)

Stars Josh Brolin. Perhaps one of the quirkier things I've recently. Stands up really well as a modern cowboy drama until you get stuff about time travelling and portals. Very strange but certainly not un-enjoyable. Also has a wicked twist which I obviously won't give away. 7/10
